Naturethroid and Thiroyd

Hi

Thinking of switching brands.

If I take 1.75 grains of Naturethroid in the morning and 1 grain in the afternoon - how many grains of Thiroyd do I take to match?

Thanks

It's generally a straight swap between NDTs, no adjustments are necessary. However, if you are one of the people who have found Naturethroid to be a problem of late, such that your symptoms have returned whilst taking it, you may find you notice the difference/benefit when swapping.

I think i will do a straight swap ..from Nature throid to Thyroid, which is a 3 grains.

Though i feel quite bad on a new batch of nature throid , so probably 3 grains of Thyroid it will not be quite enough.I wiil see after symptoms.

Maybe you go to 3 and see how you feel?I know Thiroyd is a bit weaker than Nature throid?

What data do you have that Thiroyd is weaker? At present if people are finding they are undermedicated on Naturethroid, logic says that an identical dose of another NDT is likely to "feel" stronger; but in any case, swapping like for like means a comparison can be made, whereas increasing a dose and changing meds doesn't. One change at a time is generally advisable.

I think is quite hard to divide in 4 , the thai ndt;but not impossible.So it will be a proportional switch at 2.75 grains.

I read thiroyd is weaker:35 mcg of t4 and 8.31 t3; nature throid has 38 mcg of t4 and 9 of t3 as i know.

Anyway , i will switch directly from 3 grains of nature throid to 3 grains of thiroyd.And after 2 weeks i will raise a bit.

Is first time for me also when i will swich from nature throid to ndt thai.

When you start mb008?maybe we will start in same time..i will start on 5 of January, hopefully.

Happy New Year!
